| The Atlas Have the Best View of It
Only Phantom to the G. & MS
Yesterdays game of ball between the
Atlas and G. & Ms was interesting until
the end of the fourth inning, but by that
time the Atlas had got the best of the score
to the tune of to l. and ii was afterwards
only question as to how many runs the
visitors would be beaten. Neither of the
pitchers was hit very hard, but Knell was
apparently nervous, and consequently wild.
during the first half of the game, improv-
ing very much subsequently,. Mullee ap-
peared to have unusually good command of
the ball, and his drops and rises, combined
with great speed, puzzled the batters. Both
catchers rendered fine support. Patsy Ca
hill, the new member of the Alta nine re-
ceived warm greeting from the audience.
Neither he nor either of the other outfield-
ers OF the Atlas had a chance for play
but he hit the bali well, though 70 be sure
the enemy were always successful in field
ing ii. ODay carried off the honors of the
day, his sharp handling of the ball. no
matter how close the play, never failing.
Newbert played an errorless game. which
was the more creditaDle because of his hay-
ing accidentally inflicted a cut about two
inches long on the calf of his leg with
butcher knife that morning.
The game opened with the visitors at the
bat, and Long, after taking first base on
balls, stole second and tailed on McDon-
aids slow hit to second, which was
promptly fielded to first
In the sixth inning Long made second
by hitting 10 third, who made poor throw
to first. Mcdonald again brought him
home with hit which Anderson failed 10
hold
The last of the Greenhood's runs was in
the seventh inning. when Donovan was
safe on slow hit toward second He
reached third on Mullee's wide throw to
first, and tailed on Gurnett's good one to
right field
The Atlas piled up their runs in the third
and fourth innings. Meagher was safe on
Longs mutf, and took second on wild
pitch. Flint hit toward second. but Ryan
got ambitious and went after the ball, but
when he got it he did not know what to do
with it, and Flint and Meagher both
chuckled. Mullee was put out at first.
O'Day struck to third, who shut Meagher
of on his way to the plate. Anderson
raised the ball 10 center field, bringing Flint
and ODay in, and he passed on to second
during the confusion, advancing afterwards
to third on a wild pitch. Powers sent
little one to third, who fumbled and Ander-
son got his chance to tally. Newbert kept
up the work by sending his ball into
Longs territory, but the side went out
when Gurnett caught CahiIl's fly.
The fourth inning was more disastrous
to the GREENWOOD d Morans than the third.
q life on balls followed by wild pitch
landed Mclaughlin on second. and
Meagher's clean hit to right center opened
the way for him 10 tally Flints hit was
TO center. He stole second and afterwards
third Meagher having meanwhile been re-
tired in an effort TO get to the latter. Mullee
ard o Day were both given bases on balls.
Shea's muf of Anderson's effort allowed
Flint to score. Powers tap to the pitcher
forced M1ilee out at home, but O'Day
watched his chance and made a successful
run for the plate. Newbert knocked the
ball TO third, who threw to first, the latter
muffed, and Anderson and Powers delight
ed the crowd by their scamper for home.
Cahill hit to second and Newbert was put
cut.
